MOVIELINK VIDEOS: A PERFECT GETAWAY / JENIFFER'S BODY

New release day is Tuesday.
So, I rent on Tuesday rather than Friday
-a departure from the OR. way.
Last night I rented and downloaded into Movielink,
A Perfect Getaway and Jennifer's Body.

A PERFECT GETAWAY

UNRATED DIRECTOR'S CUT

The New York Times gave the film 80% and referred to it
as a "genuinely satisfying cheap thrill".

Ultraviolet starring Milla Jovovich was one of the first dvds
I ever bought, and she also looks like an old GF.

Film critic Robert Ebert enjoyed the film, dubbing it a "Twilight for boys" and saying "as a movie about a flesh-eating cheerleader, it's better than it has to be." This isn't your assembly-line teen horror thriller." Additionally, he complimented Fox as "coming through" in her portrayal and "playing the role straight."

I saw the book at Borders around the time it came out,
and I owned the album which includes the song by Courtney Love's
band Hole, of which the title derives its name from.
The song Violet from the album, that plays at the end of the movie
was the first "rock" song that I ever REALLY got into.

It spoke to what I was experiencing
in my relationships with Oregon women
[er, if that's what u call them].
(at least until I savvied up and took control):

And the sky was made of amethyst
and all the stars look just like little fish
you should learn when to go
you should learn how to say no

when they get what they want 

they never want it again
when they get what they want 

they never want it again

go on, take everything, 

take everything 
i want you to
go on, take everything

take everything 
i want you to

And the sky was all violet 

I want it again, 
but more violet, more violet
hey, i'm the one with no soul
one above and one below


might last a day yeah
mine is forever
might last a day, yeah
well mine is forever


go on, take everything 

take everything 
take everything 
i want you to

i told you from the start 

just how this would end
when i get what i want 

i never want it again

Who signed off on the movement of adolescent evil
& frenemies?? And, why didn't they inform them,
that those who had been darkened by them
and lost love to them--would come back
empowered to kill them for it?
(Grrrowl....)

...go on, take everything, 
take everything, 
take everything 
i want you to.
